Pet Packaging Market

The PET packaging market remains upbeat as demand in e-commerce for both rigid, and flexible packaging remains at an all-time high.

Robust Build Remains a Key Appeal as Recycling Offers Momentum to Growth

PET packaging remains ideal for growth of distribution channels like e-commerce, as low-cost plastics, and robust builds make way for tremendous demand from manufacturers. Moreover, the demand for amorphous, and crystalline packaging in e-commerce will likely rise, as efficiency, and demand for new products like natural food products, and beverages will drive demand for crystalline packaging. Furthermore, PET packaging also continues to benefit from demand for robust build in packaging, as these packaging solutions escape the radar of environment regulations, thanks to their recyclable nature. This will promise a double whammy for manufacturers with low-cost recycled packaging raw materials, and ideal market demand with robust builds to secure liquid products during transportation.

Moreover, the agency also reported that capacity for large cargo ship increased by 10.9%. The growing advancement in shipping will likely reduce to cost-advantages, and growing trade around the globe will likely provide more advantages for players in the PET packaging market.

Demand for Household Product Will Remain High with Growing Concerns About Hygiene

The covid-19 pandemic led to a robust demand for regular household products including cleaning products like toilet cleaners, floor cleaners, fabric wash, and insect repellents, among others. Part of the purchases came from panic mood created in the market, as little information about the Covid-19 led to strong demand for branded household products in the market. Despite the lack of a rational demand, the subsequent awareness about hygiene, and availability of a wide variety of cleaning solutions will likely drive demand for PET packaging market. The Covid-19 crisis also promises to prolong, despite hopes of otherwise, as new strains are virus are discovered in countries like Britain. Hence, cleaning solution, and health-conscious packaging will remain a major draw for growth for players in the PET packaging market. The desirable properties of PET products including shiny surfaces for advertising, high transparency, good resistance to heat, lightweight, and high-stability remain attractive features of the products for end-consumers. The rising hygiene awareness from Covid-19 will provide more opportunity for growth for products with high transparency.
